Wow.. I guess I was a lucky one... I never got sick.. just a day or two of feeling like I was on a boat in the ocean and some extreme fatigue for a couple weeks was all I got. Now I'm struggling with finding pants to wear...I hate getting bigger but it's worth it.

Is it normal to have gained 14 lbs. already

I'm still very active although I'm still hungry more often than normal. Sometimes I get up in the middle of the night and grab a bite of cottage cheese or some almonds to kill the hunger pain. And I need food 2 hrs after breakfast or I'll die.

It kind of sounds like a lot to me but I'm not a doctor. Your doctor would be the best judge on that one. At 16 weeks I gained 4lbs with my 1st and with my 2nd at 17wks-2lbs. Although I had bad morning sickness with my 1st and horrible morning sickness with my 2nd. I started gaining TONS of weight though with my 1st around week 22 and it didn't stop. They say gaining a lot of weight early could be a sign of multiple pregnancies. Just a thought.

Nope,, just one in there ... I was under the impression at my last appt. that my weight gain was normal. But I have heard that first pregancies usually don't gain that much weight. A friend of mine, who weighed 95 lbs. pre pregnancy, only gained 19 lbs her first and 22 her second. I dunno, Maybe I'm just freaking out at my body changing so quickly...
I have to get used to it.

At my 24 week appt, I had gained 26 pounds, OOPS!! That is too much!! You are supposed to gain between 25-35 pounds total. Most people I know gained more and I will probably be joining them. As long as you eat healthy you should be ok. I have recently started walking to try and slow my weight gain down. We'll see how it worked next time!!
